Lin Jiang didn’t hide anything about his marriage. He told Qin Yangyang the whole story.

The latter furrowed her brow as she listened. "What was your ex-wife thinking? Let’s not even talk about whether you had the money for her. To suddenly make that kind of demand at the wedding... she was clearly doing it on purpose. She didn’t want to marry you."

"There’s no point in dwelling on that now," Lin Jiang said.

"The day after tomorrow marks one month. The divorce cooling-off period will be over. I don’t really want to show up to handle it. Could I entrust you to take care of it?"

"I’m afraid that won’t work. Lawyers usually only get involved when there’s a division of assets. Since that’s not an issue for you two, all you need to do is sign. I can’t do that part for you."

"Alright, but I’m worried she might not even show up."

"Now that she knows you have money, she definitely won’t show. Or even if she does, she won’t agree. If that’s the case, then you can leave it to me. We’ll just sue for divorce directly. The court will accept the case."

"Then that’s no problem."

"Still, I never would have thought you had a past like that. It’s quite surprising."

"Relax, it’s not a big deal."

"True. Divorce is so common in this day and age, especially for the wealthy. It’s practically nothing."

The two chatted as they ate. Qin Yangyang was a slow eater; it took her half an hour to finish her small portion of pan-fried steak with rice.

After the meal, the two drove to Suya Fitness Center and went to their respective locker rooms.

After changing into his swimming trunks, Lin Jiang looked at the lines of his eight-pack and felt the urge to take a selfie.

Lin Jiang picked up his phone and sent her the video he recorded yesterday. He received a reply almost immediately.

Qin Yangyang: "Feeling guilty?"

Qin Yangyang: "A good boy honors his bets. We’ll go buy a suit later, and you can drive me to work tomorrow."

Lin Jiang: "Yep, a good boy honors his bets."

After replying, Lin Jiang put his phone in his locker and walked out of the locker room.

In the women’s locker room, Qin Yangyang wore a smug expression as she read Lin Jiang’s reply.

’Get abs in a single day? How is that possible!’

’If you wanted to lose to me on purpose, you should have just said so.’

When they made the bet yesterday, Qin Yangyang had already guessed that Lin Jiang wanted to lose to her on purpose. That way, he could be her driver, giving them more opportunities to interact.

She certainly couldn’t just expose his little scheme.

After changing, seeing no further reply from Lin Jiang, Qin Yangyang also put her phone in her locker and walked out, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Victory was at hand, and the thought alone made her happy.

The next second!

Qin Yangyang froze!

Her beautiful eyes were completely captivated by Lin Jiang.

’He really got abs?!’

’And a perfectly defined eight-pack at that!’

’How is this possible!’

"You... you really got them!"

"Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?"

"But... but..."

Qin Yangyang was too stunned to speak.

’So he wasn’t trying to lose on purpose?’

’This is so unfair.’

"But what?"

"I... I..."

Qin Yangyang deflated. "How did you do that? That’s so unfair."

"I already told you it was a secret weight-loss method."

"That’s too ridiculous. Even people on steroids probably couldn’t get results like this overnight."

"That’s not important. As long as you train properly with me, I guarantee you’ll lose weight."

"Can I touch them?"

"You can touch, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself. What if you can’t sleep tonight?"

"I’m not that pathetic. I’ll just touch them lightly."

Qin Yangyang didn’t treat him like a stranger, poking his abs with her finger.

"They’re hard!"

Lin Jiang was speechless. "They’re not inflatable. Of course they’re hard."

"Your secret method is amazing. To think it has such a powerful effect."

"Let’s not talk about that for now. Remember to fulfill your promise tonight. A good girl honors her bets."

Qin Yangyang’s face instantly turned red.

"I know, I know. Now hurry up and teach me how to swim."

Just like yesterday, the two went to the shallow end of the pool.

Lin Jiang’s appearance instantly attracted the attention of the female students, and all eyes turned toward him.

In real life, most people who come to a swimming pool have pretty average bodies.

Everyone was used to it. After all, very few people came here specifically to check out handsome guys and beautiful women.

But Lin Jiang’s eight-pack was an eye-opener for the female students. It looked like it was sculpted, and they couldn’t even believe they were seeing such perfect abs in real life.

"Mr. Lin, could you help me with my warm-up stretches?"

Qin Yangyang said in a cutesy voice, imitating Zhao Fangfei’s tone.

"Since you’ve made such a request, I’ll definitely satisfy you."

Moving to her side, Lin Jiang helped her stretch her legs.

After a few days of interaction, Qin Yangyang no longer minded such actions.

When the warm-up was over, the two got into the water. They reviewed yesterday’s movements and then began practicing underwater techniques.

After more than two hours, with Lin Jiang’s assistance, she could already swim short distances.

But she would lose her rhythm after a while and need to stop and start over.

"Can you sink your butt a little lower? It’s affecting your power."

"I’m already trying my best to sink it lower."

"But it’s not enough. Is your back weak or something? You can’t sink down?"

"No way, my back is perfectly fine."

"Are you afraid of me touching your butt?"

"Huh? You’re going to touch it?"

Lin Jiang: ...

"I’m correcting your form. Don’t get the wrong idea."

"Oh, oh. Then... go ahead and try."

Lin Jiang moved to Qin Yangyang’s side, placed his hand on her butt, and gently pressed down.

Qin Yangyang’s body instantly froze. It felt as if she’d been zapped by electricity, and she lost all control.

"Hey, move."

"Oh, oh..."

Replying nonsensically, Qin Yangyang tried to swim forward, but with Lin Jiang pressing on such a sensitive area, her limbs became uncoordinated.

"This is even worse than before."

"Don’t rush me. It’ll get better. Just let me get used to it."

And so, after another hour, Qin Yangyang finally got used to the motion.

Her movements were still a little clumsy and her limbs weren’t perfectly coordinated, but she had grasped the basic principles. All that was left was diligent practice.

After they finished swimming, the two returned to Qin Yangyang’s home in perfect sync. It was already past seven in the evening by the time they got back.

"Um... a movie just got its digital release. Should we watch it?" Qin Yangyang suggested.

"I can order some snacks for you, so we can eat while we watch. What do you think?"

"That’s a good suggestion, but I don’t want to watch a movie."

"Then what do you want to watch?"

"Watch you do yoga."

"Pervert."

Her lovely almond-shaped eyes rolled at Lin Jiang. "I’ll order you something to eat first, so you don’t get hungry later."

Qin Yangyang muttered to herself as she looked at her phone.

"Let me see what’s good to eat nearby... Huh?"

"What’s wrong?"

"I still have steak at home. Should I just pan-fry a piece for you? And make you a sandwich? That should be enough for you to eat."

"If you’re going to say that, then I have a suggestion too."

"What suggestion?"

Lin Jiang beckoned, and Qin Yangyang leaned in closer.

Leaning close to her ear, Lin Jiang whispered a few words, and her fair cheeks instantly flushed red.

"You’re so annoying."

"It’s more or less the same thing, just a different form of expression."

"Then go close the curtains, and come to my room."
